The Financial Times have waged a war on free speech, and have vowed to stop the spread of news they deem a threat to their own narrative.
According to two recent articles by the newspaper, the FT editorial board wants the American government to impose restrictions on freedom of speech.
Mishtalk.com reports:
Yesterday, in The Threat Posed by Putin’s Cyber Warriors the FT was so worried about “disinformation” that it proposed restrictions on freedom of speech.
“The Russian state is far from alone in using hacking as a form of espionage. What distinguishes Moscow’s activity is the malicious way it appears to be using the information garnered and disseminating fake news to further pollute the political atmosphere. The timing of leaks during the US election looked calculated to weaken Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate,” claims the FT editorial view.
After railing against “fake news” the editorial view went on to propose restrictions on free speech.
“Berlin is considering imposing hefty fines on media outlets that spread false and malicious information. This may seem an undue restriction to freedom of speech but in the context of a propaganda war designed to undermine western democracy, it may be necessary to do more than enforce existing laws on libel and incitement.”
